Dallas city council to vote on $960M bond package for November ballot

Dallas city leaders are deciding whether to put a nearly $1 billion bond package on the November ballot.City leaders are not looking to spend all the cash in one place. Instead, the $960 million bond package would be split up.About $443 million would go to supporting public safety, including the construction of a new Dallas police training facility at the University of North Texas at Dallas.It would also include moving 911 and emergency center operations out of the Dallas City Hall basement and would allocate money for a new Dallas police property room and evidence storage facility.Another $500 million would go toward the Dallas police and fire pension system.The remaining $17 million would be used to pay for upgrades to the city’s fleet maintenance facilities.District 12 Councilwoman Cara Mendelsohn is not a huge fan of the bond proposal. "I hope voters won’t give politicians $500 million of debt authorization for an uncertain future," she posted on social media.She is calling on vote
